Respected Sir,
I am exhilarated with your this mail.Its not only informative but
touching too and depicts the pathetic state of our respective depts,
which fails for crediting the deserving ones. I remember one quote late
former P.M. Mrs Indira Gandhi"There are 2 categories of people, one who
work hard and others who take away the credit.Its Better to be in the
first category, cause there is less competition" I hope this kind of
sharings can be enlightening. Regards Akshay

Meet To the Dholavira Finder. Many of us has Visited Dholavira and got
plenty of the information about the ancient civilisation, history and
its discovery. But when we are asked for the name of the person "who
DISCOVERD the Dholavira civilisation"? Name of one of the Archaeologist
comes out from our mouth. But Very few of us Might have visited the
History person "GADHAVI" of the village Dholavira. He was the Actual
discoverer of the DHOLAVIRA Civilisation. Every time I visit
Dholavira I desired to visit the Old History man SHAMBHUDAN GADHVI of
Dholavira. Every time I Visit him I get some thing New from him. During
our last Geo-Archaeological expedition to Khadir I tried to contact as
many local people as possible in the area. This time during July 2007
we started our expedition in the area of Khadir and Rann Of KUTCH
after a good rain in the area so we can feel easy to go around in very
warm area otherwise. So we wished to collect information of the Hills of
Bhanjano and its northern side Collapsed / Land slide of Mountain hills.
And also for the Maruda TAKKAR area and rout to go there. That was
possible only with the help of Local people who have been there before
in their life and with the help of the BSF rangers. So we visited both
groups of people BSF Rangers and also local visitors to the RANN and
BHANHJANO hills and Also MARUDA TAKKAR. Similarly Local people of the
area knew about Wood fossils in Rann as they told me about that during
my first visit to Khadir during just after the Earthquake. But geologist
reached late to confirm the fact. Here in short I give details given
by Shri Sambhudan Gadhavi about discovery of Dholavira Civilisation and
how he was discouraged and treated. He was the only literate (up to
standard 6 ONLY) person in the village during his searching life. And
now as he the founder of DHOLAVIAR CIVILISATION is forgotten from
history of Dholavira. WHENn I visited to Dholavira - KOTADA, first I
visited the founder of that ancient civilisation, Shri Sambhudan
Gadhavi. I recorded his visit and I would like to put some of the
conclusion of the visit
with him in DHOLAVIRA Mr. Sambhudan Gadhavi was interested in our
ancient civilisation, but he was not the Archaeologist. THERE WAS LOK
VAYAKA - "peoples' belief" that there was an OLD GADH - Old Castle and
people were dead there many years ago and every one in village Dholavira
was aware of these and That was not the new for local people. Mr Sambhu
Gadhavi was interested in that as those stones of foundation and castle
was evidently visible to every one. He started to collect the pottery
parts and one day he found one with a picture of the Indus civilisation
symbol. "As he was collecting those pottery parts –(In Loacl
Language called THIKARIEs), He was locally also known discouraging Named
as DHIKARIO". According to him he found the pottery part that resembles
the picture of the HARAPPAN which he studied and seen in the history
book of year 5-6 of that time. So he decided to take it to the museum
curator of Kutch Museum at BHUJ. and said to Him " I have found the
pottery part that resembles the picture of the HARAPPAN which I studied
and seen in the history book of year 5-6 ". And the research started and
we found the NEW - Most ANCIENT Indian-Indus civilisation of the world.
which is destroyed before about 5000 years? so that civilisation must
have developed before another few thousands years means that
civilisation must be 7 to 10 thousands years old. which I wrote
in 2000 that that time scale relates to Mahabharata and the YADAVASTHALi
time. Surprisingly same LOK VAYAKA is there "peoples' believe that there
is NAND KUVA - well and many NAND related Things were found including
NAND KUVA - a well" and that confirms that at that time scale that Nand
Vansh is YADU VANSH and so that is part of The YadavaSthali. Human Bones
found at those places requires to be examined for the injury by sharp
weapons. one skull was found with the injury of spear. Not only that
archaeologists at Dholavira found some fossilised stones of the WOOD
FOSSILs. Not only that some of the stone used in the construction of Old
DHOLAVIRA are those fossils stones. and that needs attention of the
Geologists along with the Archaeologists working in Dholavira. Khadir -
where Dholavira is established is it self a land of fossils.

Land is in the RANN of the KUTCH and also border area. so prohibited
for exploration. So we contacted the Military authority to assist us.
They promised us to take us to escort to those places of KHADIR and
BHANJADO Mountain and KAUR BAT for Dinosaurs fossils land of 180 Mn
years old and also collaborate with us for scientific research. That
will explore not only the Archaeology but also those Geological areas of
the fossils land. LOK VAYAKA "Peoples belief" says there are more
Castles in the middle of the desert and on the Mountain of BHANJADO. and
that co relate with the MAHABHARAT. so more ancient civilisation -even
more ANCIENT than the Dholavira are to be found in those area - north of
the Dholavira. FROM YOURS Dr.BHUDIA-Science Group Of INDIA.
